A new 'asp' directory will be created and the distribution will be unpacked into it.

•	Unpack LiteCommerce ASPE distribution using WinZip or any other TAR-compatible archiver on your local computer.

If you use WinZip to unpack the distribution files, make sure that 'TAR smart cr/lf conversion' option in' Configuration' -> 'Miscellaneous' menu is disabled in order to ensure that binary files are not corrupted while unpacking.
